Wireless chargers are pretty universal. It is simple technology so it will work with you phone. 1. Make sure you have the option (my Bighorn does not) 2. Move the phone around a bit. It has to sit just right. 3. Curse a little and try #2 again. 4. Take the case off and try #2.
Good point, if you have a case that has a magnetic holder on the back of it, it won't work.
Yes and like you point out, it kind of has to sit in just the right spot.
I have a Samsung S21 5G and it works fine. My S20 didn't work with the Otter Box cover I had on it (worked with the cover off) but the S21 works with a thinner cover. As others have said, you need to have it in the right position.
Yup, this ^^^
Really? I think I have missed the sweet spot for the Ram Charger twice...I slid the phone over 1/2" and the light turned blue again. I understand that wireless charging has limitations, but I'm surprised that so many are having problems. You would think after a few tries, anyone could get the phone in the proper spot.
Isn't it only a 10 watt pad?
A lot of manufacturers (maybe all for all I know) cap their wireless charging wattage. My Pixel 3 was capped at 10W with the Google charger and 5W with anything else.My Pixel 5 can go pretty much anywhere on the pad and "charge". I put charge in quotes because its more like a slow trickle discharge using wireless Android Auto/Navigation. It's a pretty power sipping phone too. I would imagine a Pixel 6 and an S22 wouldn't charge worth a flip on it.
I'll have to see what my 6 pro does otw home tonight. I have about a 35min drive so I'll make sure my phone stays at like 65% and see what it's at when I get home.My Pixel 5 can go pretty much anywhere on the pad and "charge".

That's what I was thinking. You can see the square charging pad pretty clearly. Perhaps on future generations they can make the pad a little larger.
The first problem is the phone has to go sideways because it is too tall to make contact with the charging pad (S21 Ultra) and then the phone blocks the blue light. The second issue is I have to remove the phone from its case to get it to fit into the holder, next, when the phone is down there it doesn't always get the best reception when I'm away from the big cities (I live rural) making Android Auto's map act up, and last, it charges way too slow.
They are. My 5 will do 12 watt but at 10 watts it's a break even at best affair.
Kind of makes me want to buy the part and see if I can retrofit a 15W charging pad from Amazon.
